On November 6th, the trial of Mr. Amer Jubran
took place in Boston. Mr Jubran felt the pain of the Palestinian
people and decided to form an organization and an opposition
to the movement which has been victimizing his people –
Zionism - unabated for many decades.

Understandably, the Zionist community was quite upset with
Amer Jubran, and viewed him as a threat to the continuation
of their policies and goals. Immediately after Amer Jubran’s
successful demonstration at a Zionist rally in celebration
of the state of Israel, Amer Jubran found himself under constant
surveillance and under suspicion of being a terrorist, which
was truly unfounded. All Amer Jubran was guilty of was standing
up for the rights of the Palestinian people. Unfortunately,
the power of the Zionism movement is such that they were able
to constantly hound Amer Jubran and to have him placed under
suspicion of terrorism and subversion and anti-Americanism.
All of these charges were proven to be completely unfounded
and Jubran’s innocence was established, despite the
intense scrutiny to which he had been subjected. He was never
proven guilty of any subversive acts. Jubran’s only
“crime” was that he stood up for the rights of
the Palestinians and dared to oppose the legitimacy of the
state of Israel.

Neturei Karta members went to his trial in Boston to show
support for Amer Jubran and to plead his case so that it not
be confused by the Zionist accusations and agenda. Jubran
acted from the purity of his heart to stand up for truth and
righteousness.

Unfortunately, after suffering through the pressures from
all that transpired, Amer Jubran made the decision not to
stay under constant surveillance and constant pressure by
remaining in the United States. He feels that he could accomplish
much more in the cause of righteousness if he were not under
such constraint and intends to continue, God willing, his
efforts in other parts of the world. The members of Neturei
Karta, among other people of good will, are sorrowed by the
loss of such an honest, well-meaning, good-hearted individual
and activist amongst us, but we know that everything is from
God’s hand. We are sure that he will accomplish much
in good-will and helping people internationally and uniting
the hearts of Jews and Arabs and Muslims, as he has been known
to be outspoken in the international community. We give him
our blessings that God be with him in his further efforts
towards peace and harmony of Jews and Arabs, and the successful
transformation of the Zionist state into a state under the
rule of the indigenous Palestinian people, where Jews and
Arabs can live in harmony again.

We must stress that Amer Jubran, despite what the Zionists
accuse him of, is clearly not against the Jewish people. To
the Zionists, anyone who speaks against their policies is
an anti-Semite – but Amer Jubran bears no ill feelings
towards the Jews of an anti-Zionist Judaism. On the contrary,
he constantly expressed the knowledge that Judaism and Zionism
are diametrically opposite, and that Jews and Arabs have lived
together, and that we have the good will to live together
peacefully once again. Jubran reiterates that he has nothing
against the Jewish people, and in his Boston speeches he expresses
the love he has for the Jewish people, and his firm belief
that we can live together in the future. The only problem
which is a true impediment to peace is Zionism and the state
of Israel. His understanding of the issue at hand and his
strong desire to work towards true peace makes his departure
from the U.S. a great loss to our community. We wish Jubran
much success in his good endeavors, wherever the path of truth
leads him.
